Is a Future Chiefs Draft Pick Playing Tonight?

A few weeks ago, we caught word that a Kansas City Chiefs scout made the trip to Oregon State for a game against Washington.

Tonight, Oregon State is playing a pretty big game against Oregon. Two top 20 teams.

Is a future Chiefs draft pick playing tonight?

For those of you without NFL Network, and unable to watch the NFL game on tonight, check out the Beavers on ESPN at 8:00 PM (CST).

AP user burntorangehorn summed a few up the names on Oregon State a few weeks ago. Keep an eye on a few of these players and let us know what you think.

Sean Canfield’s not a bad QB at this point. He’s done a decent job of piloting Oregon State this season. Not sure he’s a draft pick, but he’s worth scouting at least. Good size, okay arm strength, and he’s starting to make smarter decisions.

WR James Rodgers is tiny, as is his brother, RB Jacquizz. Both are electrifying players, but it’s hard to imagine either would jump early. I’m guessing James, who is a junior, will stay, but I guess KC would watch him as much as anyone else in case he does jump. Seems like a guy who’d go between picks #45 and 60, if I had to guess. ‘Quizz isn’t eligible for the 2010 draft.

Stephen Paea is a compact defensive tackle who came from a fairly good juco program. He plays with good leverage, getting nice and low to really drive interior OL where he wants to go. He could be a first-day pick, but I’d guess third round.

Keaton Kristick is a fairly good linebacker. He’s their leading tackler and has good size (6’3" 235lbs.), but I think he’s been having a few short-term injuries. Ah, looked it up just now, and it sounds like he had stingers in two straight games, but seems to be okay now. No idea where he’d go in the draft.

I never really thought about that....

I would at least be interested in knowing how many AP’ers are on at any given moment – actively browsing. I’ve been on a number of forums (no SB Nation ones that I know of) that will give you some general statistics about users and such.

Dickson

oregon tight end….seems like he would be a good option not sure what year he is

Canfield

Looks like a Pioli type of a QB. I could see it happening with a late round pick.

Blount

top round talent but will drop. seems to have learned his lesson though. is great in training with team. got back tonight for the first time and looked just as good. if hes there in the 5th with those three picks we need to pick him up. great talent, headcase who seems to have grown up. great value there also. would love to pick him up and put him on a short leash.

Plus

When we face off vs. Oakland we will have someone to send in to the ring with Tom Cable. A little side game & wager if you will. My money’s on Blount. Youth triumphs.

Ooh ooh! One more!

In a bizarre turn of events in the ‘10 season, we lose Cassel, Croyle and Gutierrez to injury. We bring Jeff Smoker (cause who doesn’t want that guy on their roster?) back to the NFL and we are then blessed with the backfield of….

Blount, Smoker

Thank you ladies and gentlemen. I’ll be here all week.

Amazing!

It is a new Era at Arrowhead. I do not yet know if it is one of greatness or one of ineptitude. I am excited to see which way it goes, and will support my team until the end, bitter or sweet!
